Lindsay threw a scoreless inning against the Royals in his Cactus League debut Sunday, which earned him praise from manager Ozzie Guillen and pitching coach Don Cooper, the White Sox's official site reports.

Lindsay, a right-handed relief pitcher from Australia, has been around for awhile and has struggled to stay healthy, as he had shoulder surgery in 2007 and a broken hand in 2008. Opposing hitters posted a meager .143 average against him, and Lindsay can throw his fastball at 97 mph, but he generally sits at 92-94. Currently on the 40-man roster, the Rockies believe in his arm and can probably use him out of the bullpen at some point, but it's unlikely that he'll project into the closer's role at any point in the near future.

2009

The injury-prone Australian righty broke his pitching hand and missed two months, then pitched well enough in the AFL to get people excited again and get added to the Rockies' 40-man roster. A starter last year, he projects as a short reliever, with some chance to eventually close. Only a pick in very deep leagues.

2007

After a stellar year in the short-season Northwest League in 2005, Lindsay was diagnosed with a torn labrum that December. He was able to avoid surgery and was very effective again in 2006. If he can stay healthy, the Australian could advance quickly. He was able to maintain his high strikeout rate after advancing to low-A Asheville - he's raw, but a high-upside project.

2006

Lindsay spent 2005 in short-season Low-A Tri-City where he threw his 95-mph fastball and an above-average knucklecurve. He's still quite young and will in all likelihood spend 2006 in full-season Low-A Asheville.
